Waiting in Azkaban

..

I wait here in this freezing cell

The north wind whips my hair

Perhaps I've died and gone to hell

And I barely even care

..

There's only one thing I live for

If I'm even still alive

The return of the Dark Lord

I know that he survives

..

Dementors always outside my door

They've been there fourteen years

I barely notice them anymore

Too insane to feel fear

..

I hear the tortured screams

Of others locked inside this place

But from far away, as in a dream

They seem to be but a fading trace

..

Of those who cried in dread

And died inside these walls

You can breathe and yet be dead

And every day I think I'll fall

..

Yet even I do not despair

A year ago my Mark burned black

We howled into the bitter air

We knew that he was back

..

But we couldn't, couldn't leave this place

We tried a thousand times

To hear his voice, to see his face

Nothing more did I desire
